duced with the following characteristic
speech:
There is one kind of theology which
says if you seek religion you can't get
it; if you get it You can't keep it, and if
you lose it YOU never had it. l like
good Old ArmenianiSm, which teaches
yOu the reverse of the other. If YOU
seek it you will find it; if you get it you
have it, and if you have it You can lose
it. | could never see why. if Il sheep
could turn to Il goat, why goat couldn't
turn to sheep. Now that good Pres
byterian brother over there don't be-
lieve he can fall from grace. but he's
afraid he hasn't got it. Now I'm sure
Eve got it, but l am afraid of losing it.

longed to the Baptist church and
another that belonged to the great big
sinners. The last one said, Sans

BaptiSt'S going by the water route, and
I'm going by election l don't believe a
man can get To heaven without work
going to get there wHshout good works,
unless some one shoots you down the
instant you're converted. Some of our
people are afraid of being called Phari-
sees. There amt a PhariSee in the
state. A PhariSee was fellow that
tasted twice Il week. prayed five times
a day and gave tenth of all he had to
the church. God send us some Phari-
sees. Don't any of you lay anything to
yourself now because some one called
you one. Why.yOuve never been within

fellow named Charles Phillips has writ
ten an article for the paper about it. Is
there any Of you fellows that knows this
Phillips? He writes like Il barkeeper,

other world than he does, at least.
Every man would like to be like first
rate member Of the church and live like
tenth-rate member. The only differ
ence between the best and the worst
member is the way they live. If a mer-
chant paid as much attention to his bus
mess as he does to his religion he would
be bankrupt and sold out in less than
six months"
He then took as his text: ''Letus not
be weary of well doing, for we shall
reap if we faint not"
do you know what fOoliShness is?
Its something rubbed on fools. Well,
now and then you'll find 4 grand and
good woman. There's mauy Baptist
Methodist and Presbyterian sister who
will pay 81 yard for a new dress. and
then she'll give old Sister Smith 81 to
make it for her. But now and then she
gives it to the French milliner, and then
don't she dig you up and make You pay
for all you've cheated old Sister Smith
out of. Why. brother. YOU may say you
go to church. SO does the devil. He al
ways attends church. If that's all you
do the devils better than you, for
he attends every meeting. In some
communities the devils quit doing any
work. He's just letting the members of
the church do it for him by running pro-
gresSiye eucre parties, advocating high
license and getting up big balls. The
meaneSt kind of fellow is one that
serves the devil during the week and
then tries to serve the Lord on Sunday.

a blessing, but they Just grunt any way
TO show that they are grateful. a man
once asked his son: My son, what is

replied. How many pigs there are here
to-day! You may say Jones is vulgar,
and all that, but Eve mighty near freed
you, and I'd have done it if it wasn't for
the hollow in the tree. There's lots of
you fellows here if you'd go home and
live religious one day it would SO sur

TIE EVENING SERVICES.
Sam Jones preached short but elo-
Quent sermon in the evening from the
text found in Matthew Xi, 2S-31.
Come unto ne, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and will give you
rest
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of
me, for am meek and lOwly in heart,
nd lnaH fi1.I
For my yoke is easy, and my burden
is light
Il am glad that Jesus Christ did not
send US unto some priest, some ecclesi-
aStic, but said, come unto me-" The
mass of the people are diseased, and [
want to say right here Jesus Christ has
never missed diagnosing case correctly
since the world began. The devils
main business i'll this world is to teach
men that theirs is special case. Every
man i'll this world comes under one of
two classes. lie is either heavy
laden with guilt or he is
laboring to live a moral life. Some peo-
pie say they'd rather be rascals than to
be men trying to live moral lives. |
say toyou that wherever you go you
want. to be a gentleman there. If
you go to heaven be gentleman there,
and if to hell be gentleman. Morality
is good horse, bride and saddle, but
1t can't carry you into glory. The
greatest mOraliStS the world ever had
were the PhariSees, and Jesus called
them whited sepulchres. in nineteenth
century parlance white-waShed rascaIs
| want this work done within and then
tffere'll be no need of the WhitewaSh.
Some people try to make themselves be-
lieye that Christianity and morality are
different. They amt. / don't say but
what your kind Of morality may be diff
ferent from Christianity, but it don't
differ from the real article. If young
man should call on my daughter with
Louisiana state lottery ticket in his
pocket | should kick him out of the
door. Such fellow is a chip from the
old block. The old man belongs to the
stock exchange and the boy belongs to
the Louisiana lottery exchange. This
way we preachers have got of sepa-
rating Christianity and morality is al
together wrong. great many people
think Christianity is a lifelong rest: but
If you want to secure the deepest. grand
est blessings, you've got to work.
There's these little fellows, sit down to
table and eat peck physically, but
when it comes to anything moral, lust
little will do. These little fellows will
have to have something tied around
their necks OF they will get lost in
glory"
